Joe Ledley has questioned if Giorgos Giakoumakis leaving Celtic for a move to the MLS is due to the lifestyle as he expressed his surprise over the switch.
The striker was signed by Ange Postecoglou 18 months ago from VVV-Venlo but is on the verge of leaving the Scottish champions for Atlanta United. He has largely had to play second fiddle, particularly this season, to on form Kyogo Furuhashi but has still managed nine goals. He's been left out of late with his future rumbling on in the background but with his exit pending, the former Hoops star believes he could have left for the EPL or top end Championship south of the border.
Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, the former Celtic midfielder said: "Losing Giakoumakis is a blow in my eyes. You never know what is going on behind the scenes, but I suppose we might find out in the coming days. It’s certainly a surprise to leave one of the biggest clubs in the world for the MLS. I don’t like to see him go because he was a great servant to the club, but football is very strange at the moment. I thought he could have found a club in the Premier League or maybe top end of the Championship.
